let listItems = document.getElementsByTagName('ul');
const colors = ["#C2272D", "#F8931F", "#FFFF01", "#009245", "#0193D9", "#0C04ED", "#612F90"];
for(var i = 0; i < colors.length; i ++) {
listItems[i].style.color = colors[i];
}

Treehouse TeacherHi there! In your listItems variable you have selected all ul tags. But the HTML only contains one ul element. You are meant to be selecting all list items or li elements.
Try it again with this hint in mind!
